mean mean movers
This is the way to make sure your company gets a bad light focused on them. Accordian Guy has a run in with a moving company that someone commented about on his blog. They didn't take kindly to the comment and attempted to bully Joey into deleting the comment. It didn't work.

I have always wondered about things like this. The internet, especially since the onset of forums, blogs and commenting systems, has often been used for, "i need to do this; whom do you suggest or suggest against?" Moving companies, auto repair shops, rennovators, etc. are businesses rife with bad reputations and shoddy dealings. We need to protect ourselves.

Luckily, if I ever need a moving company (in the past it has always been a friend with a license and a rented truck) I have one in mind here in Toronto. They are Avenue Moving (nice pic Scott :) and I deal with them at work and while on personal/work relations with them, I have never heard anything but good things from customers.

Hey David, good to see you are back online. I just noticed. Maybe you will inspire me to do the same. Joey's story is a nightmare, after their childish threats I definitely won't be using that company any time soon. Boris the Mover it is...

Hmmmmm, eastern european accent and tactless behaviour... maybe QuickBoys IS Boris the Mover?!?!?

for those confused, Boris the Mover is a phonecall i receive a couple of times a year left on my answering service. Think movie-KGB-commander-accent telling me about "movink compnee, very good" stumbling through the message and forgetting to leave a number. then he calls back and leaves number.

p.s. the phonecalls usually come in at 7am on sundays.

Calls are bordering on harrassment!
Have requested my number be removed 3 times with no success.
Contact with office staff was abusive. Do you think they get lots of call from irritated people???????
Company has poor rating with Better Business Bureau.
